Painterly Brush Strokes · Smooth Rendering · Textured Grit
ABOUT THE BRUSH PACK
The 5 main brushes each come with 8 different modes, allowing a variety of painterly brush strokes, smoother brushes for rendering, and texture brushes for adding grit. The varying modes enhance the realistic qualities of this kit, perfectly replicating the complexities of real paint.
Brush Types: Filbert, Flat, Round, Filbert 2, and Flat 2
THIN: Very little paint is loaded on the brush, for smoother strokes
THICK: A lot of paint is loaded on the brush, for chunkier strokes
WET: The paint is thinned down, covering more canvas and semi-transparent
DRY: The paint is straight from the tube, more opaque and more textured
CLEAN: The brush paints with only your foreground color, making pure colored strokes
DIRTY: The brush paints with both foreground and background colors, based on pen
Jon’s Pro Tips:
For convincing results, use the same process as oils. Start with an underpainting, paint a layer above it, so you can scratch out the wet paint on top. Let some of the underpainting show through. Vary your brush direction and pressure for less obvious digital strokes. Most of the brushes have a hard edge on one side and a soft edge on the other, so be sure to monitor your stroke direction.
